House Concert featuring Piano, Cello, Violin and Guitar

Sydney-based pianist Andrew Rumsey returns to Canberra to present a night of music for piano, cello, violin and guitar. A Masters graduate from the ANU School of Music, Rumsey has performed in China, Italy and Israel. Back by popular demand, ‘Rumsey & Friends’ presents another highly-entertaining night of music-making.

In the first half Rumsey will perform a collection of smaller solo piano works by Chopin, Granados, Ravel, Scarlatti, Brahms, Takemitsu, Scriabin and Rachmaninov - a wide selection of flavours from different countries. In the second half he will be joined by James Larsen (cello) and Mia Stanton (violin) for a collection of dances by Monti, Piazzolla, Pieczonka and Kats-Chernin. A delicate, virtuosic, thoughtful, passionate and fun program - something for everyone. There will also be a special-guest performance by acclaimed guitarist Matt Withers!

All four seasoned musicians have performed on the international stage as well as throughout Australia. Join them for an unforgettable night of some well-known and some rarely heard jewels of the classical repertoire.

Limited seating for 60 guests in a lovely home with a performance space and comfortable seating. The performance will begin at 6pm and will be followed by a dinner and drinks (provided) and a chance to mingle. Online bookings close 12pm Friday 7th of October to allow for catering planning.

Hosts Bill and Libby want to offer opportunities for Canberra audiences to share their passion for classical music. The residence is on a battle-axe block with limited parking. Guests are advised to park on Cedrela Place and enter via a footpath at the front of the house.
